 I want to give a big shoutout to all of our teams and the amazing obstacles we have all overcome to not only put a great product on the field in light of the COVID pandemic but also the resiliency to practice hard, stay focused and work as a team in harsh tournament conditions. Our teams, top to bottom, have represented us in an honorable and respectful manner and for that I want to thank all of the parents, players and coaches who have contributed and work so hard to make all of this happen. I also want to ensure that the efforts of the 2023, 2024, '06 and 2026 Explosion are acknowledged on one of the biggest stages, the USA East Coast Nationals held in Spartanburg, SC from 7-17-20 to 7-19-20. This was the first time that we had 4 teams (2 Division Championships, 1 Runner-up and a top 8 finish) in this elite tournament and everyone of our teams played their hearts out and represented this organization with class and dignity. We are so proud of them and the efforts of our teams. Have a wonderful remaining summer everyone! One last thing to those that are considering trying out for our organization, we have a terrific situation and circumstance awaiting your player. Take a look at our on the field progress, success and our proven player developmental program and I think you will find you like what you see! An amazing opportunity awaits for you in this organization! |
